Indianapolis Colts 12/11/2008 8:32 AMThe Indianapolis Star reports if an injury to his right shoulder forces running back Joseph Addai to miss Sunday's start against the Detroit Lions, the Indianapolis Colts will turn to RB Dominic Rhodes. That's fine with Rhodes, who said he approaches every game with a starter's mentality. "Hey, I always feel like I'm the man,'' he said Wednesday, smiling broadly. "I hate to see when somebody gets hurt, especially a good friend of mine like Joe, but I'm relishing the opportunity. "At the times I get to start, I go out there with the mind-set I can't be stopped. I'm going to go out there and give it everything I've got, to the last drop.''Read more
Miami Dolphins 12/11/2008 8:31 AMThe Palm Beach Post reports WR Greg Camarillo is back in South Florida, following surgery Tuesday morning to repair his damaged left knee. Esteemed orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews of Birmingham repaired Camarillo’s torn ACL and meniscus. Thursday, Camarillo will begin the long, grueling rehabilitation process, with an eye on returning to the field in time for training camp in late July, said agent J.R. Rickert. “He’s turned the page,” Rickert said. “Now the work begins. We don’t see any reason why he won’t be ready at the beginning of training camp, assuming he doesn’t have any setbacks.”Read more
Atlanta Falcons 12/11/2008 8:31 AMThe Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports Falcons defensive end John Abraham, who leads the team with 12.5 sacks, and left tackle Todd Weiner did not practice on Wednesday. In addition to the shoulder injury that has lingered for Abraham, he was listed on the injury report with a thigh injury. Weiner, who is coming off major reconstructive knee surgery, normally doesn’t practice on Wednesday. Both received the days off for precautionary reasons and are expected to play against Tampa Bay on Sunday.Read more
Green Bay Packers 12/11/2008 8:30 AMThe Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports the difference was striking. The comparison - inevitable. In his first career start at weakside linebacker on Sunday against the Houston Texans, Desmond Bishop had a team-high 11 tackles, a sack, a tackle for a loss on a third-and-1 play and forced a fumble at the goal line. For Bishop, a former sixth-round draft choice in his second year with the Green Bay Packers, it was a career game. Unfortunately for A.J. Hawk, it brought his career into question. If Bishop can do that in one start, why hasn't Hawk - the fifth overall pick in 2006 - been able to do the same?Read more
